Prada is a recognized classic. The pieces the brand creates are always chic and sophisticated and what is even better they look great on women of different ages.
The collection for Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 unveiled during Milan Fashion Weeks features beautiful items that would be perfect for various occasions. Dresses are luxurious and glamorous as well as trenches and coats.
Collection is obviously inspired by last-century fashion tendencies that are presented with a modern twist. Miuccia Prada says it’s classics that she was aiming at.
She said:
It’s normal clothes. Classics. Revising the things I did in the nineties.”
Ruffles, high waists, wide skirts, upstanding pointy-bra formations and other details in the range remind us that retro fashion is always a win. Hair done up in sixties beehives just add to the feeling of being trapped in the chic of the past.
The group of models strutting the runway included big names in modelling, such as Doutzen Kroes, Catherine McNeil, Lara Stone, and Miranda Kerr – young women who embody femininity and beauty.

The collection Angela Missoni presented during Milan Fashion Week for Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 was all about knitwear, Missoni family heritage. It was grandiose and super-warm, perfect for winter cold. Missoni is one of those brands that really make clothes suitable for cold weather.
The show had some kind of universal tribal spirit. It included items inspired by Celtic, Masai, punks’ cultures. Pieces looked beautiful and comfortable. Blanket coats looked funny though.
Lots of simple knitwear skirts with quite ordinary prints looked good in combination with elaborate flower-patterned scarves and long voluminous capes. Warm shorts were matched to woolen tights but at the same time bellies would left exposed.
I like the trousers in herring-bone pattern with side pockets that even had creases like on classic pants. However, lingerie that was used widely in the collection as outwear wasn’t the best idea. Actually it was good only for catwalk and there would hardly be anyone willing to wear all these pieces together.
Shoes didn’t seem to be flatteing but bags looked pretty as did sunglasses.

Dolce & Gabbana presented their 50th collection as a duo in Milan on Saturday (27.02.10). The Italian designers have been working together for 25 years and achieved great success and world recognition. And rhey really do deserve this success!
To celebrate the brand’s heritage the designers sent more than 70 models down the runway wearing sumptuous clothing and beautiful accessories. Black was the dominant color in the collection with addition of grey, beige, yellow and red. Leopard prints and polka dots were also important.
The extensive range included chic classic pieces like skirt suits, skirts, blouses, jackets and coctail dresses. Some items were more light-hearted and featured flower patterns and bold combinations of textures. To add femininity and sex appeal the creative duo used lace and sheer fabrics.

Versace collection for Fall 2010 unveiled during Milan Fashion Week looks nice and elegant as everything from Versace. It inludes lots of signature Versace short-and-tight dresses as well as long gowns with high splits. But it does have lots of innovative pieces that add glamour to the line.
Donatella Versace obviously took a new route and abandoned the pastel-colored goddess drapery that she used in her Spring 2010 range. Maybe it’s due to the modern tendency to minimalism, pragmatic daywear, and longer lengths, that the designer changed her habitual way of creating things.
There is more about tailoring this time. Combining various fabrics and diverse colors Donatella was able to make beautiful and sophisticated ensembles. Separate geometric pieces of material were zippered together, half-short, half-long skirt were put into same sets and in the result we have pretty garments that are perfect for young people to wear.

Although the garments created by Salvatore Ferragamo didn’t impress me much when unveiled during Milan Fashion Week in September, the adverts look beautiful. Maybe it’s Claudia Schiffer who brought her charm to pictures and made those attractive or just environment changed and we see these clothes how they really look.
No matter what has happened I like the photos. Claudia looks elegant and outfits are glamorous. Accessories are great, especially the shoes. Handbags look beautiful, too.

It has been announced that Salvatore Ferragamo was to replace Cristina Ortiz by Massimiliano Giornetti in the role of a head designer of the brand for womenwear.
And to leave with success Cristina tried her best to create the collection for Spring/Summer 2010.
This wan’t easy since her previous collection had been received rather coldly.
However, the designer was able to make a few pieces that extablished her fashion view clearly and really hit the runway.
The number of pale coats in crocodile, python and laser-cut leather looked beautiful as did pastel-colored loose-fitting blouses.
Some dresses looked fabulous, especially those of a simplier design.
Nevertheless, the African inspiration that led to the creation of plenty of unflattering jodhpurs cut very generously at the hips was not the best she could have an idea from.
The pants as well as skirts with the hip detailing didn’t look interesting or glamourous. It was an obvious fashion error.

As it seems to me this new season most of the brands tend to keep their usual way of designing clothes.
Missoni stick to using cashmere, Marchesa works on red-carpet gowns and Etro is focused on exotic prints and fabrics.
But the Spring/Summer 2010 collection is a bit reserved in comparison to the ones Veronica Etro created in previous seasons. I mean the colors and even the number of details included in outfits.
Lots of satin, chiffon and voils were used in everything from pajamas to multilayered dresses. Prints were nice, often intricate and then they were simple and even severe. Colors ranged from mushroom and dusty pinks to violets.

Milan Fashion Week wouldn’t be complete without the show of this particular designer – Donatella Versace, a person of unusual vision of things and skills to embody that into her creations.
The Spring/Summer collection 2010 was inspired by Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (which comes out next March).
I loved the idea of that fantasyland,” said Donatella.
Although usually the designer works to make pieces good for grown-ups, this time she decided to create for those who look younger, that has been a trend with designers for some time. It’s just that Donatella shows her own opinion of how young people should look like. These are not only too short skirts and sheer materials which are often visible in other designers’ collections but something else, more significant.
Versace was able to make pieces interesting for modern youngsters – stylish, innovative but still very classy and feminine. Vivid pastels, geometric prints, baroque curlicues, super-short skirts, diverse materials and elaborate combinations of fabrics make the colelction look fresh and sumptuous.
